Turkish doctors hold silent march in support of Palestinians in Gaza

Turkish physicians and medical students have staged a silent march in solidarity with Palestinian health workers, who are struggling to save the lives of the victims of a brutal Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip amid an acute lack of fuel and medical supplies.

Wearing lab coats with red hand prints, the Turkish doctors rallied in the city of Istanbul on Saturday.

They carried signs reading, “Doctors stand with Palestine,” “Who is going to stop the genocide?” and “I’m a doctor, not a target”.

Israel waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group conducted Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Since the start of the onslaught, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 15,207 Palestinians, mostly women and children, injured 40,652 others, and left vast swathes of Gaza in ruins.
